Federico Epis is influenced by the electronic sounds of the '90s, which has evolved his passion into a profound career that has seen him featured on labels from Yoshitoshi to Reworck. This same energy is palpable in his debut Balance EP, a 4-track release that masterfully blends design with emotion.

Federico Epis - Restart EP

The deep techno of "Rose" is delicious. The percussion is crisper, almost thicker, and totally enveloped by a dense blanket of soothing bass. Dubby elements and FX dance around as automated synths grow more elaborate. But it's the bread-and-butter breakdown that allows for the biggest moment on the EP: a swelling riser punctuated by a tidy drop—a return to main floor mechanics that is highly satisfying.

On "Restart," he presents sturdy drums and moody bass that are highly hypnotizing. Gentle melodic keys swell in and out like fragile bubbles, intermittently giving way to a vocal soaked in reverb. The breakdown is classic prog: sweet keys morphing into a melodic change that is melancholic yet uplifting. This is a softer take on progressive trance for deeper dance floors

The sea of reflecting sound on "Timing" projects a feeling of tranquility. However, the strength is, once again, in the throb of the deep bass and the determined drum engine. Later on, a melody is introduced that sounds familiar yet is unique in its presentation. This is another mature outing that respects the listener.

"The Sun & You" showcases his flair for organic house with a playful edge. With its chugging drums and bass, the emphasis is on groove and rhythm. Riding that wave is a beautiful melodic sample that glides blissfully by itself. A vocal sample is introduced in the breakdown, slowly adding to a subtle build which explodes into a meditative second stanza.
